Israel's brilliant campaign to protect itself from entrenched military aggression near its borders has been devastatingly effective. First they crush Hamas like penicillin wipes out a bothersome bacterial infection. Then they launched a multi-faceted, multi-level attack that put Iran/Hezbollah on their heels. First the Israeli intelligence services knocked out muzz communications, then the IDA let loose an all-out aerial assault. Total systematic annihilation of hundreds (thousands) of weapons BEFORE they could be used on Israel!!
